Just wondering why after probably 4 years now, there are still no directional signs to this ramp for Deerfoot Trail Northbound from westbound 212 ave SE. Seems like quite the oversight

I know it is a lame response unlikely to garner any real outcome, but have you tried calling 311 about it?

Depending on where those little Deerfoot maintenance markers are ( looked on Street view but I couldn't see one on the east side, only the west, on a light standard in the median) it might lay with Alberta Transportation.
Best bet, email both and cc your councilor and MLA.

That would be an Alberta Transportation issue. You could contact the highway maintenance company responsible for that section. Either Carmacks or Main Road. Definitely not a City of Calgary issue.

I finally received a proper response from the Gov’t of Alberta, transportation. Looks like the sign should be coming soon
